What browser are you on? Cause I am not getting any of that at all and the donation button works just fine on mine so it may be your browser

As I mentioned in my post I'm using Chrome...

... however, I suspect that some tweaks have been made as I can now access the donation link but I'm still getting the Avast pop up window warnings.

The URL bar for the site is still listed as Not secure. We seem to be making progress on the donation ink, but this Not Secure aspect bothers me.

Maybe it's because I'm using a very aggressive Internet Security feature, that I'm getting these warnings, but I'm not prepared to turn it off. I do feel protected, but only because I'm using Avast, which covers my back.

I don't think it comes down to any browser, a site is safe or it's not, Avast is well respected and if it tells me a site is Not Secure, then I trust that.

I feel strongly that admin need to look more deeply into this issue, I do love Anime Forum, but if it wasn't for Avast protecting me, I would think twice about posting here anymore. And I am really hesitant to offer my credit card details to make further donations.

In my opinion, as a citizen representative, I need to advise, we still have a leaky boat. I will, however remain patient and will trust admin to sort it out.

Ascended Vegeta has sorted last years problem out and the site is secure now. I too have used the donate button and had no problems.
I have asked Cadian to get in touch to check things out again though.

the donation button works just fine for me and chrome just doesn't get along with the site I use internet explorer I missed that the original post said chrome so try internet explorer and see if it works fine there and then you would know its just chrome possibly

I'm not trying to scare you guys, I just need to know why this happens?

And please ... don't tell me that Internet Explorer is better than Chrome or Firefox. Internet Explorer is outdated, insecure and famously recognized as the most vulnerable browser on the planet, even Microsoft don't use it anymore!

Again I stress, it's not about browsers, there is something weird about the AF site. It's a simple question, with a likely simple solution and I need a simple straight answer, why is Avast, one of the most highly respected Internet Security services, sending me these messages?

There is a hole guys, just plug the damn thing ... and stop making excuses for goodness sake!!!

Sorry for the late response I have been abroad. Canary islands. It was a nice holiday.

The site is secure as always. even if it wasn't (which is not the case) you have no critical information held here like bank account details or names and addresses and so on, so don't worry.
We don't even use our real names here.
If you donate we have no information about that other than it has occurred. The only third party that has access to any information and specifically those details and your finances is paypal and only if you donate and I have no concerns about their security.

Everything is ok. My control panel for the server just needs an update which I am working on.
Some firewalls are simply picking that required update up and being over protective.
Other firewalls are more intelligent or up to date and so for most members there are no warnings needed or given.
My own firewall has already calmed down with the little work I have done to AF already.

Post and have fun. talk anime or whatever, Just don't put your bank account details or any other critical information in a post. Why would any one anyway, this is an anime site.

Please see here for more details about the European union general data protection act compliance this site has click this link Privacy Policy

I wasn't making excuses just saying on my end af doesn't work at all on chrome so im not saying one browsers better then the other I use chrome 99% of the time just internet explorer for this site and for one im just trying to help I myself cant fix it sorry for trying to help

I really appreciate your efforts Vegeta, please don't misunderstand me, I think it's wonderful that you are trying to help, you are a wonderful person and one of the backbones of AF. I love you and cherish your friendship and support!

Thank you for the warm welcome back Ascended Vegeta, I'm also happy to welcome you back from the Canary Islands.

While I do agree with you that the site is maybe safe, it just worries me that Avast keeps throwing up these warnings, and seems to be protecting me from something, God knows what!, I don't know.

Maybe it's not a security problem, but a glitch that needs to be fixed. Meantime I will continue to post, but I'm just wanting to know why Avast keeps telling me that it blocks JS:CryptoNightMiner-A[Trg] because it is infected with 200.68.17.196.

Please believe me, I'm not trying to be negative, I trust you, but this is like an itch I can't scratch and it frustrates me!

I will be running deep boot scan overnight to see if JS:CryptoNightMiner-A[Trg] has infected my PC, this takes many hours, but I suspect that, as Avast is protecting me, it will yield no infections. I suggest all members do the same with your chosen anti-virus software, as JS:CryptoNightMiner-A[Trg] is a recognized Trojan, I will report back the results tomorrow.
